Hello,

I am facing an issue with my interface when using .refreshBinding() on a table with approximately 100 rows. Here’s the situation:

I read the table data using system.tag.readBlocking() and process it to format the table, applying styles and descriptions. This part works quickly, taking about 1 second.

I added filtering options using several checkboxes to hide unnecessary rows. The filters are passed to the script, which processes the data and returns only the relevant rows. To apply the filters, I use a Refresh button with the function:  
.refreshBinding("props.data").

The Problem:  
After making several filter changes and clicking the Refresh button multiple times, the interface stops responding:

The Refresh button no longer triggers the update.  
Table actions, such as cell clicks or value edits, also stop working.  
I tried limiting the ability to trigger .refreshBinding() until the script finishes running, but this had no effect. The issue persists.

Questions:

What could cause the interface and table actions to freeze after multiple .refreshBinding() calls?  
How can I properly diagnose what is blocking the interface or causing this behavior?  
Are there any recommended debugging methods (e.g., using system logs, timers, or event diagnostics) for issues with .refreshBinding()?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,  
Michał

Show us the script.

Also, I'd pull the whole data into a custom property, then bind your table to this custom prop and apply the filters there. This way you won't need to use `refreshBinding` and you won't need to read the tags every time a filter is changed.

You should put the code here, not screen shots...  
And also the code you call from your lib AJ3

You should btw turn the isActive to true before triggering the refresh binding, though i doubt this is the issue

uh thats is quite the lenghty script, with quite a fill loops.  
Though you are only rly outputting a 100 lines so if the input tag doenst have that many more i dont rly see to much of a problem i guess...

Depending how often you need to refresh your data, you should probably do this to avoid having to run the long script as much as possible

these if boolean seems weird, why the if xd did you forgot to add a variable here?

This is a leftover. I was supposed to add something there, but I’m not using it for now. Basically, the script works perfectly fine, and its execution time is around 1–2 seconds. I don’t know why the _refresh binding_ function causes my interface to freeze, even though I’ve ensured it can’t be called again before the script finishes generating the data.

After several refreshes, the interface stops responding to interactions, which is strange. I have to open a new tab and log in again...

If the _interface_ is freezing, this indicates a problem in the frontend. Use the browser's built in diagnostics tools to figure out what's going on.
